DHAKA: A Delhi-based woman was allegedly gang-raped and her male friend assaulted by two police constables and their three friends here on the outskirts of the national capital.

Four of the accused, including the two PAC constables, have been arrested for the incident that took place on Friday, and the police jeep used by them has also been seized, SP (city) Yogesh Singh said, adding that hunt is on to nab the fifth accused.

The 25-year-old had gone to meet her property dealer friend at his office in B-Block of Sector-105 area last night when the five men came in the jeep, assaulted him and raped the woman, Singh said.

The incident revived memories of the brutal December 16 gang-rape incident in the capital, and came to light on a day when a juvenile accused was held guilty for the brutal rape and murder of the 23-year-old paramedical student eight months ago, and sentenced to three years in jail by a court.

In the last night’s incident, the accused also took away the victim’s mobile phone and ATM card, which they used to buy fuel for their jeep, he said.

The woman, a resident of Old Shahadara in Delhi, said in her complaint that she had come to meet her friend.

‘The woman said that between 7 and 8pm, five men, including the two PAC constables entered their room, overpowered her friend and then raped her,’ a police officer said, reports The Times of India.
